When Calls The Heart (2014) s08e12 Episode Script

Previously on When Calls the Heart
I will be credentialed
to teach Angela Canfield
just as soon as the examination
is offered in the area again.
I'll be staying then, Mrs. Thornton,
to see that you're shut down.
I thought for sure he was
gonna ask me to marry him.
I think that it just wasn't meant to be.
Where is Jesse?!
I'll put together a search party
and we'll head out at first light.
Anyone can do what I'm doing.
I call it greed.
You want to see greed, just wait.
- Get out.
- I fell in love with you,
and love is always
something worth fighting for.
I want you to find your true love.
I need to set you free.
After what's happened
with both Nathan and Lucas,
with my world feeling a bit like
it's crashing down around me,
I need my best friend
now more than ever.
I'm so sorry.
I've behaved horribly.
I don't know how I ever
doubted your intentions
or your friendship.
Do you forgive me?
Of course I do.
Oh.
I suppose I shouldn't have been
surprised that Lucas let me go.
He just knows me so well.
He could sense there was
something happening with Nathan.
People come into our lives,
some for a reason, others for a season,
and some for a lifetime.
Jack was a season, and it was glorious.
Now it's up to you to decide
who might be here for a reason
or perhaps even a lifetime.
And once you've settled
that in your heart
you'll be able to throw
yourself into that person's arms
with all of your being.
Nathan, any word on Jesse?
No, but with this good weather
we were able to get an early start.
I should hurry up and
get these supplies up.
All right. Good luck.
Thanks for helping out, Hickam.
To be honest, I'd like to be
more involved in town matters.
Well, you should be.
How many have declared their
intention to run for mayor?
Including you?
That makes one.
Carson, I
I was never gonna leave town
without saying goodbye to you.
And this is gonna hurt.
I think I'm just trying to
find some way to get past it.
I understand.
I told this man I'll be
praying for him and you.
Thank you, Minnie.
I'll see you across the street.
There's something I need to tell you.
When Angela was two she
came down with the measles
so I took her to the doctor,
but uh, he refused to see her.
As a result, she lost her sight.
For too long I wouldn't trust a doctor,
but you were different.
I knew that right away in meeting you.
Thank you, Carson,
for helping to get that
bitterness out of my heart.
Hey fellas.
Bill, I wonder if I might have
a word with you in private.
Let's head to my office.
Uh, Bill, before you go, would
you register my candidacy?
You're running for mayor?
- Atta boy.
- Me too, please.
Now you got yourself a race.
There ya go!
Where have you been?
- I did it.
- You did?
And I was right.
I think we should tell Henry.
Let's you and I talk about it later.
Yeah, just just say the word.
Oh, and I have some good news, too,
but you'll just have to wait.
Oh, aren't you gonna register?
You think I could be elected?
Not only because the
last mayor was a woman.
By appointment.
You never let anything stop you.
Thank you so much. Have a lovely day.
All right.
- So tell me about the elevations.
- Molly.
I can't wait for you to
see it's all down hill.
- Really?
- What do you think?
- As a couple?
- straight to the rail line,
and I think I found the perfect spot.
I don't see it.
You are so smart.
I believe that I did
everything in my power
to maintain safety in the mine.
But if you or anyone else
wishes to open up the case again,
those are the names that you'll need.
You've included your name on this list.
If convicted you go to prison.
If I'm convicted I go to prison.
Feels like you're trying to
clean the slate to say goodbye.
Well, goodbye, hello, we come and go.
Henry.
Bill.
His name is Wyman Walden.
Walden is spelled with
an "e". Not an "o".
No. Yes.
What is the point in
talking on the telephone
if the person on the other
line isn't going to listen?
Ah, I had another phone put
in, I hope you don't mind.
Hello? Thank you, Florence.
Mr. Nolan, I appreciate you
returning my call so much.
Oh.
Well, is there anyone there
who might know the answer?
One cranberry muffin.
Thank you, Allie.
If you happen to see Robert
Hi. I hope you don't mind that
I use that door, Mr. Coulter.
Not at all.
I have your mail from Dottie's
and I thought you might want
the Union City and Cape
Fullerton newspapers.
Robert Wolf, you are a
mind reader. Thank you.
- Hi, Robert.
- Hi, Allie.
Uh, guess what?
I got a new job babysitting little Jack.
Oh, how fun.
I hope it's ok to use this
door, too, Mr. Coulter.
Of course.
Yes, Mr. Nolan, I'm still here.
Walden with an "e".
E! E!
Yes, we do have a bad
connection, don't we?
I'm calling about a
rather large parcel of land
that was recently sold
here in Hope Valley.
Never mind!
Pardon me?
Well, this is Rosemary
Coulter and I am a reporter.
Actually, I'm an editor
the editor in chief.
I am the editor in chief
- Hmm.
- of
The Valley Voice.
Nice.
Good morning.
Hello.
You're not eating at the saloon.
I have some business
that I thought would be
better conducted here.
Lucas, what you said the
other night, about love,
you were right.
And I wanted to thank you.
I hadn't realized how your
letting me go would help me
Lucas.
Thank you for getting in touch with me.
Certainly.
Wyman Walden.
Hello.
I'm actually here to see Minnie
so I will let you two
get to your business.
Please, have a seat.
Thank you for taking
the time to meet with me.
I have a very interesting
business proposition for you.
Oh, I thought you'd
be over at the school
getting ready for tomorrow.
What's happened?
Mr. Landis.
You promised me he has no say.
The County is threatening to close
down the school if Angela attends,
claiming her needs
would adversely affect
the other students' education.
Minnie, I just really
need you to trust me.
I did trust you.
I want Angela in school tomorrow,
even if it means she is
the only student there,
and everyone else stays
away in opposition.
She has a right to her education.
You're absolutely right.
But not at her expense.
Right now Angela is the
only one I want to help.
I'm sorry, Elizabeth.
Wow, you really have
done a lot of work here.
Yeah.
I reinforced things up in the steeple,
I'm just about ready to raise this up.
Yeah.
What's on your mind?
I just feel kinda useless these days,
ever since I realized that
I don't have an actual skill.
I sell the lumber and then I stand back
and I watch other people
build their dreams.
Well, what are your dreams, Lee?
That's a good question.
I have done everything in my life
that I have ever wanted to do, yet
I guess that's why I'm always
asking you about your calling.
Well, it's different for each of us.
It starts with you realizing
that you are a piece of work.
I've heard that before.
God calls us his handiwork.
Every person created is unique,
each for their own special purpose.
Keep your heart and your mind open, Lee.
You'll find it.
Hmm.
In the meantime
Oh, I knew there was gonna be a catch.
No catch, you the one talking
about you wanting to be useful.
All right. Don't forget,
I have a bad back.
How am I supposed to forget
that? You tell me every day.
All right, you ready?
- Yeah, I'm ready.
- Here we go. One, two, three, pull!
Oh, that's heavy.
It's all right. One, two
If Angela Canfield
attends school tomorrow,
Mr. Landis has said that
he is going to shut me down.
I feel like the people
need to know this.
So I was thinking maybe
you could write an article
for the newspaper?
I think this is a great idea.
- Good!
- Yes.
- All right.
- All right.
And now
And here we go.
I take it you haven't
talked to Lucas yet?
Or Nathan?
Not yet.
When I tried earlier with
Lucas we were interrupted and
Nathan's off looking for Jesse.
You know, the other night
the thunder woke Jack
and I found myself
singing him this lullaby
that I haven't heard since my
mother sang it to my baby sister.
I just feel so lost.
Oh, Elizabeth.
You lost your husband,
you were lost between
two very admirable men,
and now the very thing that
brought you to Hope Valley
well, you're afraid
you've lost that, as well.
But you will find your way.
It's there inside you,
rooted deep in your heart.
Same as that old lullaby
you sang to Little Jack.
Now, let's talk about the school.
If this article is going to do any good
I need to publish by the morning.
Mr. Bouchard!
I have your mail right
here, and a package.
The package is actually for Mrs.
Thornton but it came in your care.
Thank you, Robert.
You're gonna do just fine
running this clinic by yourself.
You're smart. You make astute diagnoses,
and you have great bedside manner.
I'm sorry if I didn't always
make you feel that way.
Oh, Carson.
I am gonna be a puddle when
you get to that stagecoach.
Let's just hold each other.
Mike.
Oh, hey.
I was just heading for the office.
I know that you've been
wanting to talk to me.
If you have a few minutes,
Fiona and I have a proposal.
Mike, you and Lucas and Fiona
whatever you think is right
for the company is right for me.
Oh.
Mike, ever since you began working here
you've really come into your own.
I don't think there's
anybody who knows this company
better than you, maybe not even me.
And that's why I uh,
I feel confident leaving
it in your capable hands.
You're asking me to run the company.
Thank you, my friend.
One moment.
- Robert.
- Mr. Bouchard.
But you were just delivering the mail.
Well, I'm hoping to get a horse
so I'm working as many jobs as possible.
Ah, I see.
Well, is Mrs. Thornton home?
Not at present, however you may be
able to find her at the schoolhouse.
I think I'll just leave this here.
Thank you.
You just say the word.
We'll sell the house,
I'll pack up the wagon.
You're not helping.
Baby, I'll pack up all
our worldly possessions
as many times as you want.
We'll just keep moving on down the road.
I'm sorry I cut into your work.
Minnie
It's just like you told me.
It's time to stop running
and take on this church.
Well, I'm telling you
it's time to stop running
and take on anyone who tries
to hold back our daughter
from being and doing her very best.
Thank you for the apple crumb cake.
Hey, Clara.
How are you?
Just keeping busy.
Yeah.
Want some company?
It'd give me something to do, too.
You can sift the flour.
I'm a great flour sifter.
We're making a cake.
For Jesse when he comes back.
It's time.
I don't think I can see you off.
It might be easier if
you just stay inside
and we say goodbye here.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Did you arrange this?
No.
This is just how much
you're loved here, Carson.
By everyone.
Oh.
Carson's leaving.
Clara.
Carson!
Carson!
Lee found your ring.
The brass ring I could never catch.
Faith.
Part of me thought when
the stage pulled away
that Carson would be there.
I wanna finish your article.
Thank you.
Any news from Ned?
He gets back tomorrow.
And then you'll find out
what business kept him behind.
Oh, my goodness.
Clara!
Jesse!
Oh!
I'm sorry.
You are never going
to do another survey.
Nathan, I need to see you later.
I'm glad you're all right.
When my father saw me
off on my journey west,
he said he hoped I'd find
what God had shaped me for
and then give my whole heart to it.
But while my students' lessons
are often found in books,
In life, lessons are
often learned in pain.
And lately I am reminded by
trying to avoid those lessons,
it does nothing except prolong the pain,
especially when it comes to love.
For too long I've allowed myself
to drift between two good men
whom I never intended to mislead.
And so I've come to the realization
that by being untrue to them
I've been untrue to myself.
But I no longer wish
for it to be that way.
Hi.
Hi.
When I said it just happened to be you
who Jack replaced when he was killed
what I didn't say is how
thankful I am that it was you.
I couldn't have asked for
a more courageous, selfless,
good man to watch over and care for me.
But I also realized that I have
been trying to find Jack in you.
I've been trying to
replace him with you.
And that wasn't fair to anyone.
Nathan, I do love you, it
would be impossible not to.
But I'm not in love with you.
I'm just so sorry.
Tell Allie that I'll always
think you're impeccable.
Nathan had a reason
for being in my life,
but he wasn't my lifetime.
Nor was I to be his.
But I hope we can build
a new relationship.
A deep abiding friendship.
Because he'll always matter to me.
Your soup has never tasted so good.
You might wanna slow down.
You feeling better?
Much.
Although
Bill, I don't quite understand
why you couldn't keep Walden in jail.
Where he belongs, in my opinion.
Well, he gave you two your money back
and we had no other charges against him.
I predict there will be when folks
read about him in the newspaper.
Well, don't be so sure.
Even though you guys didn't know
where he was investing your money
he was investing it
buying up local properties
and businesses anticipating
the town's growth.
Well, I like the town the way it is,
so I'm glad we got our money back.
I'm just glad I got you back.
Welcome home.
Thanks, Bill.
- Mama?
- Yes, baby.
I'm worried.
Hey, everybody.
You're home!
Hi, Daddy.
Did you finish, Pop?
Bell's up and ready to go.
I didn't hear it.
Well, you said you wanted to be
the first to ring it when
it was in the steeple, right?
Baby girl.
Hi.
Darling.
What has you worried?
Can we talk about school again?
Of course, baby.
Coop, head on up and get ready for bed.
Aww.
Up. Go on now.
Maybe you and I can go
back to learning at home.
Is that what you'd prefer?
Let
If I go tomorrow the school
might be closed for everyone.
Let me ask,
how would you feel if the
same thing would happen
if Allie or Opal or
Emily went to school?
That wouldn't be fair.
You have just as much right to
be there as any other student.
But what if none of the parents
or students think that way about me?
I believe you should trust them.
That at least some of them
will show up and support you.
They deserve a chance, just like you.
Ok, mama.
You're really gonna use this old thing
to publish your first edition?
Well, I don't really
have another option,
not if I want the paper
to be out by the morning.
You really have found
a calling, haven't you?
Thank you for being so happy for me.
Oh, of course I'm happy for you.
The truth is I'm uh, I'm
a little jealous, though.
That reminds me.
Uh, Joseph finished putting the bell up.
We should give it a try!
No! Lee, we'll wake up the whole town.
Come on!
You're no fun.
What I could use your help with
is carrying this mimeograph
machine over to your office.
Then you can go home and go to sleep.
Oh, but I don't wanna leave you alone.
Well, that's what being the editor is.
Putting the paper to bed and all.
- All right.
- Oh, but my back.
Oh, Lee.
We all have back problems. Pick it up.
Okay.
What is it that Joseph says?
Many hands make for light work?
Yeah, something like that.
There we go.
I appreciate your business.
You closing early?
You serve any Pinkertons lately?
Business has been slow.
Well, you'll know when you see them.
Not just by the uniform,
they tend to um stir things up.
I appreciate the warning.
Elizabeth came by to
see me this afternoon.
She told me she loves me.
She's just not
she's not in love with me.
I don't know if that surprises you.
I can't really say it surprises me.
What Elizabeth and I share
it's not the same as what
it seems you two share.
I think that her heart has
always been with you, Lucas.
At the moment
I'm not sure what she and
I might actually share.
I received an offer on the saloon.
A good one.
I'm inclined to take it.
I can't tell you what to do,
but if I were you, I'd
consider sticking around.
Oh, and if you have any
trouble with Pinkertons
I have your back.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Oh, my goodness.
Rise and shine, sweetheart.
Just a little bit longer.
Oh, no.
I have coffee and the morning paper.
Your morning paper.
It wasn't a dream?
Nope, not unless you dreamed
that Robert delivered them door to door.
Oh, how exciting.
- Your hand.
- Oh
Ahhh!
I had a little accident
refilling the ink.
So you've been busy.
I know I insisted on doing
this myself last night.
Never again.
- So that's it? One and done?
- No.
No, no, no, no, no.
Just if I'm going to run
a paper I wanna do it right.
With a staff and a real proper
printing press, and an office.
My office.
Our office?
Yeah, we'll talk about it.
Jack was restless last night
so I don't imagine he'll be
up for another hour or so.
Is that everything?
Almost.
Robert, could you please
deliver this to Mr. Bouchard?
It's important.
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you.
You won't be too tired?
I'll have a nap when Jack naps.
Oh, don't forget this.
Rosemary's newspaper.
I dropped one off at
everyone's doorstep,
even when I went through town.
I'm so proud of her.
Thank you, Robert.
I'm not gonna try talking
you out of leaving, Henry,
but if you could just-
just stop and try and explain it to me.
It just doesn't matter.
The saloon, the hotel,
petroleum business,
it it just doesn't matter.
- Then what does matter?
- I don't know.
I don't know, I'm just trying
to figure that out for myself.
Though I am fairly certain
that it isn't fleeting pleasures
or the acquisition
of more shiny objects.
What gives you comfort at night
when the darkness has wrung
all of the light from the day?
Maybe that's it.
So long, Lucas.
Good luck, Henry.
You're leaving already?
Bill, when your boss offers
to send you on vacation
for getting lost in the
woods, you don't wait.
Jesse, this isn't a vacation,
this is gonna be our second honeymoon.
You're right. Second honeymoon.
Let's go!
Thank you for always being there for me.
We'll see you soon,
and have some fun while I'm gone.
You guys have fun, too.
Thank you.
Giddy up! Ya!
Here we go.
Pinkerton?
His name is Julius Spurlock.
Spurlock? That sounds familiar.
He gave an earful to Wyman
Walden after he left my office.
I don't think they're going
anywhere any time soon.
Molly.
Bill.
Would you care for a coffee?
I'd love to.
It's getting late, Mrs. Thornton.
The children aren't coming.
I can see that.
And weren't we trying to work together
for the children's' best interest?
I'm all for working together,
but if parents have decided
that a child without sight
could hamper their own
children's education
Angela Canfield wouldn't
hamper anyone's education!
Coop, let's get a move on!
We need to go, Mama.
I'm so proud of you, baby.
Lunches are packed.
Are you coming, too?
Sure, first day of school?
Hot dog!
Ha-ha!
Help your sister, now.
Joseph
Ah, ah, whatever
happens, we're together.
Mama? Daddy? Come quick!
What's going on?
It's the first day of school.
We thought we'd walk with you.
- All of us.
- Or none of us.
Never mind about Mr. Landis.
It's like Robert said at graduation.
We're better together.
Okay.
Mrs. Thornton! Mrs. Thornton!
Cooper!
Cooper, what are you doing?
Can I ring the bell, please?
Young man, no one is coming!
What do you mean?
They're coming! They're all coming!
I'm home!
Ned!
Florence, I do not like being apart.
Neither do I.
Ned, what was of such importance
that you couldn't even
tell your own wife?
I'm sorry, I signed a
confidentiality agreement
and I wasn't allowed
to discuss it but
since I'll be applying for a patent
I suppose there's no
harm in telling you now.
How do you like my invention?
What in the world?
It's an adhesive bandage.
For minor cuts and scrapes.
What do you think?
Oh, Ned.
You're a dreamer.
I missed you so much.
Well, I missed you so much.
I think I missed you more.
Impossible.
Henry?
You really are gone.
I heard a little while ago.
Congratulations.
First a mayoral candidate and now this.
It's been a unique couple of days.
Plus, a new bow.
Very natty.
Um, so, I'll drive.
Wait, you haven't told me your news.
I spoke with an old friend back home
who's willing to put up half the money
to finance the oil pipeline.
That's fantastic!
Should we get going?
Lead the way.
Ah, Fiona.
I was just going to ask you to tea.
Oh, maybe later?
We won't be long.
Oh, motorcycle.
Here Mike, hop on.
What do I do with my hands?
Just hang on tight.
Oh!
Oh, that Fiona, she's
so full of surprises.
So, how'd you do this, Nathan?
I cut it on some barbed wire.
Oh. Chasing cattle rustlers?
Chasing my hat.
It flew off in the wind.
So I hear Carson left.
Seems the best doctors in the
world are at Johns Hopkins.
Maybe one day he'll be one of them.
What about you? How are you doing?
Well, like any wound,
it'll take time to heal.
I know.
The two most important
days in someone's life.
The day they're born and
the day they find out why.
Oooh, I like that.
Wherever you go, Lee,
I see you trying to
bring people together.
Well, that's very kind of you, Joseph.
Thanks.
Woah!
I'm walking, here!
I'm I'm sorry, Lee.
It's all right. After you.
Appreciate that.
Hey, sweetheart.
So, I think I finally found
out what my calling is.
- Now, hear me out
- You're gonna run for mayor.
No, I'm gonna run for ma
How did you know that?
I got a nose for news, Mr. Coulter.
Mmm.
Oh, Lee!
I think it's perfect.
You're welcome. Bye! Bye!
Well, Mr. Landis?
I can't promise you anything.
But I have seen how a single student
can affect an entire class.
Yes, but I believe today
you saw how a single student
can affect an entire class
in the best possible way.
If we can only try to work together
who knows what we could accomplish.
As I said, I can't promise you anything.
Why would you do that?
Oh, my goodness!
What a nice surprise!
Hello, my little man.
Did you behave for Robert today?
Oh, isn't that what I gave
you to deliver to Mr. Bouchard?
I tried dropping it off
but the saloon was closed.
The doors were even locked.
Hello?
Lucas?!
Elizabeth? What is it?
Have you seen Lucas?
Uh, yeah, a moment ago.
- Where was he?
- Uh, in his car, leaving.
Lee! Which way did he go? I need
That way! Heading out of town.
Oh!
Elizabeth!
I hoped I'd find you here.
I thought you left.
I hadn't heard from
you. I thought perhaps
No. I just needed time
to find my way back.
I told you I would wait
as long as I had to.
You were ready to leave.
And that would have been the
biggest regret of my life.
You are all that matters.
You're all that's important.
You've taken off your ring.
Thank you for waiting for me.
I see you received your invitation,
and I am so glad.
Would you care for some champagne?
Won't you please sit down?
Well, I would like to thank you
for coming to tonight's
very special reading.
You may know me from my previous work,
"A Single Mother on the Frontier",
which I have here in galley form,
due to be published sometime next year,
thanks in large part to the
very handsome man down in front.
But tonight I'd like
to read from my heart.
It's a love story,
and one that I've only
just begun to write,
about a woman who has
fallen deeply for a man
who is patient and kind
thoughtful and adoring.
Yes, uh, question?
Yes. Will we get to hear about
his side of the love story?
Because he has fallen deeply
for a woman who is true,
selfless and sweet,
beautiful and endearing.
Well, I am sure we will
be hearing more from him,
and from her.
But for now
I'm afraid she's all out of words.
